Arun Jaitley Stadium will be upgraded with two new pitches, among other things, ICC World Cup 2023. Among the enhancements for the ICC World Cup 2023 in October-November will be two new practice pitches at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) will also replace 15,000 obsolete bucket seats, according to joint secretary Rajan Manchanda. Former BCCI general manager and current Delhi Capitals CEO Dhiraj Malhotra led a two-member reconnaissance team that evaluated the facilities at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where five World Cup games were played.

“They will give us a final report in a week and inform us of everything they want to do before the World Cup starts.” “We are adding two more strips to the existing ones on the main turf for training convenience,” Manchanda told PTI on the day. It was learned that the ICC crew was pleased with what it observed but also provided feedback on the facilities. “Practise pitches are something that DDCA is adding on its own, but it has agreed to upgrade everything else,” remarked

Another DDCA source who spoke with ICC officials said, “There is a special emphasis on having brand new toilets (male and female), and they have to add four radio commentary boxes along with TV commentary boxes.”
Because the ICC has several audio broadcast partners, each venue must make room for four extra radio commentary boxes in advance of the huge event. In terms of the other upgrade, Manchanda stated that everything is on track. “We have informed the ICC that we will completely renovate the restrooms.” The stadium will be freshly painted. We have invited proposals from renowned companies, and we will do due diligence on the tender process. “The number of seats will remain the same, but we will have 15,000 new bucket seats,” he explained.
The ICC reconnaissance team was quite impressed with the venue’s readiness in Chennai. On Wednesday, it will travel to Dharamsala. From October 5 through November 19, the games will be held at ten different locations.
